FTTx, Internal, External

The cable has dual Low Smoke flame retardant sheaths, the outer is a UV-resistant black variant. When entering a building, the outer sheath of the cable is simply removed to expose the inner flame retardant Jacket. The operation is swift and enables easy installation from an outdoor environment to an indoor environment without the need of two different cables and a cable joint.

The drop cable is primarily intended for direct installation, i.e. installation with staples or clips or routing inside cable raceways and moldings. This installation technique puts extra tough requirements on the cables in terms of bend performance, crush resistance and other mechanical parameters.

The drop cable has extremely good bend performance due to the G657 fibre and the inbuilt bend restriction of the cable design. The cable will by itself control the minimum bend radius and permit kinking.
